I think the conventional form for this construct should be:

"How to choose your mirror manually"

It is true that in recent times the resistance to splitting an
infinitive (by inserting an adverb between the "to" and the verb) has
been weakened by what used to be thought of as incorrect- and what is
now given a free-pass because it is common- usage.

Nevertheless, the "correct" construction cannot be criticised and will
be generally accepted as "correct" by all, even those who don't know
the difference:-)
